THE LATE WILLIAM SEWELL

There are few to whom Trelawny has been more largely indebted than to the lamented gentleman whose decease we deplore. Large districts of the parish have undoubtedly, through his instrumentality alone, been maintained in cultivation. It is indeed no exaggeration to say, that most, if not all, of the numerous estates with which as attorney, lessee, or proprietor, he from time to time became connected, were by his skilful management, to the benefit of all classes, redeemed from threatened abandonment. The large measure of success which has attended his career as a sugar planter, a career in this parish extending over a period of thirty-four years, has been the well-merited result of the exercise of the soundest judgment ... and unswerving rectitude which characterized his every dealing...
